“Diversity” is overrated. Even in skills other than the primary skill set.
I’m sorry, i am not understanding your point…you support diversity programs, but you do not want them to be…what? What is the issue?
@FreeAndClear you see what @Guilds the crit is doing right?

My diagnosis is the “Bagdad Bob syndrome.”
“The party of Jefferson, Jackson, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama and Biden holds a 57% unfavorable rating among voters, according to the Quinnipiac University survey released Democrats’ unfavorability rating reaches new, 16-year high as party keeps licking wounds following disastrous 2024: poll Wednesday, while just 31% of voters say they have a favorable view.”

Gas prices high inflation high interest rates.
There are different ways to achieve diversity. This particular attempt is not good.
Relatively high. Gasoline was $0.88 a gallon.
For me, first question is “Diversity in what?”
I have a feeling that’s above four bucks in todays money
2.50 or so. But that’s irrelevant.
What do you suggest?
No wonder fraudsters dread Elon.
“The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once,” Musk, the chair of DOGE, posted early Saturday morning to X.
Musk’s post came just ahead of the New York Times reporting Saturday afternoon that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent granted DOGE personnel access to the payment system. The Treasury spends roughly $6 trillion per year on payments for federal agencies.

OPM is responsible for making payments, not approving them. That’s the agency head’s job. It’s akin to your bank telling you that they disapprove of you writing a check to WalMart and therefore they’re going to deny the check.
Maybe the woman who prints paychecks at the local retail store should decide who does and does not get paid this pay period.
This is OUR money they are wasting.
If that was the standard, why was the officers at the treasury instructed “always to approve payments”?
Banks have a “red flag” system.

They are instructed to “always approve payments” because their job is to process payments, not control them. The US government also has a red flag system - it’s not housed at OPM. It’s the office of foreign asset control at Treasury.
They are “payment approval officers.” If everything is approved, why the need for “approval officers?”
They are approving the treasury’s role, not the agency. They are routing the funds via Treasury.
